Database migration strategies

Moving to the same type of database

You can lift and shift your databases to Google Cloud using 100% open-source-compatible databases like Cloud SQL for MySQL, Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL, Cloud Memorystore for Redis, and Cloud Bigtable (HBase client for Java), along with our open source partner databases like MongoDB, Datastax, Elastic, Neo4j, Influx Data, and Redis Enterprise. Built-in features like an external master for Cloud SQL help to minimize downtime during migration.
